...2003, Karolina Kurkova had her first tantrum after being turned away from a pub. The model turned up with friends to New Tork's Joe's Pub to watch Indie glam-rockers Elefant perform, but the bouncers would not let them in. While other punters were waved in, and despite it not being full to capacity inside, Kurkova and her model pals were directed to the end of the queue. After giving up and going across the road to Indochine for 45 minutes, Karolina then came back and tried again, only to receive the same treatment. "I'm going to tell all the magazines!" she reportedly screamed whilst dialling on her mobile phone.
